This is a hub-style dungeon from September 2000. It has a bunch of textures from id=14091, a great deathmatch level which is mentioned in the readme. Overall I enjoyed the map. It has a clean design that's on the cusp of the modern Doom era, occasionally (and unfortunately) reminiscent of GOTHIC_99. There's a lot of action, loads of ammo. It's a bit mazey at times, you get too many rockets. Final battle would make a good simple deathmatch arena.
